A New Day

I've decided it's time to take a trip back to Canada. The company I work for is basically blaming every cutback they make and every employee they want to let go on the economy. Even though I still have my job telecommuting with them, they haven't asked me back in 3 months. I was going back every other month which was draining but advantageous in the fact that I got to spend time with my family. My granddaughter's 7th birthday is the end of June and she is insisting I promised her I would come back. How do you say no and disappoint a 7 year old?

I was thinking this morning of all of the times she and I have spent having girls weekends or evenings out. She's is so precocious. I remember the time she cut her own hair and phoned me crying because she wanted it back and didn't understand why we couldn't just put it back. We both went for haircuts that night having dinner out after. We were walking through the mall when she decided she needed as beautiful new dress to go with her beautiful new haircut. Do you think she got that beautiful new dress? Of course she did! I don't know a grammy who could say no to that cute little face. I'm once again having trouble saying no to that cute little face. I also need to check on my son and see for myself that he is doing OK. Hopefully his job loss won't trigger another MS relapse. It's time we all get some relief from the stress.
